Wedding Cash vs Gift 小蕾

BiscottiGelato

I know most people do Wedding Cash, esp for Chinese couple.

What is the couple is more contemporary, throwing a western reception, and they are LOADED and make buckets load of $$$? A few hundred dollars probably means nothing to them... Still just cash in a card and be done with it?

Sensible opinions and discussion from all sides welcomed!

they are actually truly loaded. so no, they don't have a gift registry...

I don't know. I am thinking if I ask them what they prefer they'll say don't buy anything, dun give anything, type of answer, which is useless for my purpose...

I was just thinking in general, would people still give cash in this situation, or would resort to a gift? Say if they half reasonably think they can buy something that that's somewhat useful/meaningful.

I mean, if you are the couple, and spent say 100k per location for a wedding and don't really think much about it. and you get back 20/30k from the wedding, does it mean anything then?

i caved in. gonna cash it. the couple is from out of town, only back for wedding. can't come up with a gift that is small/light and they'd like. If they are local i'd definately do gift, but it's something relatively large and fragile. cash this time i guess... thx for the opinions tho!
